About this Item
Description:
Second edition. 2 vols. Frontispiece . 8vo. Later half-calf over marbled boards. London, A very good copy, and a lovely gift. The presentation inscription reads: ?Elizabeth Cook to Indiana Jenkins August 19, 1832.? Elizabeth Cook (1742-1835) married Captain James Cook in 1762 and was his widow for half a century. She kept in close touch with her Yorkshire in-laws and this gift demonstrates that her interest was more than perfunctory. Indiana Jenkins (née Fleck 1805-1871) is named in Elizabeth Cook's will. Her father, the sailor Thomas Henry Fleck (1775-1817) was Cook's nephew, making her Cook's grand niece. She was bequeathed a sum of money as well as the contents of Elizabeth Cook's spare bedroom. https://www.captaincooksociety.com/cooks-life/captain-cook-personally/elizabeth-cook-her-will-and-her-legatees-part-1.
